BACK OF HOUSE RENNOVATIONS
In November, the BSO celebrated the modernization of two essential spaces following months of construction: The Zamoiski Room and the Musicians’ Lounge. Sitting at the intersection between the front and back-of-house on the Orchestra level, The Zamoiski Room( named for longtime friend and past Chair of the BSO Board of Directors Calman“ Buddy” Zamoiski) was transformed with an accessible walkway, dedicated catering support, AV integration, custom furniture, and refined fittings. The room now has a modern feel, ideal for artist meet-and-greets, meetings, and special events. The newly redesigned Musicians’ Lounge provides a peaceful retreat for BSO musicians and visiting artists alike, with updated lighting, a new kitchen, comfortable seating, and enhanced amenities.
“ Every building needs an update now and then, and our hall, and especially the musicians’ locker rooms which we use on a daily basis, was definitely overdue for one,” said Ivan Stefanović, Associate Principal Second Violin.“ The end result is a bright, modern, and visually engaging space which puts us in a good mood as we get ready to rehearse and perform the music we love to share with our audiences.”
These spaces reflect the second phase in a planned, multi-year renovation of the Meyerhoff’ s 31,000 + square feet of operational spaces across three levels. Early projects, and many to follow, prioritize the needs of BSO musicians and visiting artists.
The end result is a bright, modern, and visually engaging space which puts us in a good mood as we get ready to rehearse and perform the music we love.

For these individuals, the Meyerhoff is their home for a visiting engagement, or during long days of rehearsals. The new upgrades will give artists the rest and recouperation they need to perform at the highest level. Completed projects are already doing just that, as the musicians’ locker rooms and a block of soloist dressing rooms were renovated in 2023.
